Katten Choupette, född  i Fontaine-sous-Préaux i Seine-Maritime i Frankrike, är en katt (helig birma) som var den tyske designern Karl Lagerfelds husdjur från julen 2011 till Lagerfelds död den 19 februari 2019.

Biografi
Choupette tillhörde ursprungligen den franske modellen Baptiste Giabiconi, som gav henne till Lagerfeld runt julen 2011, efter att Lagerfeld passat henne medan Giabiconi var utomlands.

I juni 2013 meddelade Lagerfeld att han önskade att gifta sig med Choupette. Han sa i en intervju med CNN: "Det finns inget ännu äktenskap mellan människor och djur... Jag trodde aldrig att jag skulle bli såhär kär i en katt."

Efter Lagerfelds död i februari 2019 pågick spekulationer om att Choupette skulle ärva en del av Lagerfelds förmögenhet. Lagerfeld hade tidigare sagt till Le Figaro att Choupette har sin egen lilla förmögenhet. Hon är en arvtagare.

På sociala medier
Hennes första medieuppträdande gjordes via sociala nätverkstjänsten Twitter den 16 januari 2012, på kontot @ChoupettesDiary, en fansida av Ashley Schudin. I en intervju med Making It In Manhattan förklarar Schudin att "Twitterkontot ursprungligen skapades som ett skämt och lekfull satir för vad folk tror att modebranschen verkligen är."

Då Choupette figurerat på sociala medier och i modemagasin, sade Lagerfeld: "Människor är överväldigade av henne... Snart kommer människor att prata mer om Choupette än om mig!" I juni 2021 hade hon fler än 47 000 följare på Twitterkontot, som skapades till hennes ära.

I modevärlden

I juli 2012 startades internetrykten om att Chanel skulle lansera en Choupetteinspirerad, efter en tweet av Cathy Horyn på New York Times. Det spekulerades att Choupette var väskan som bars av modeller i Lagerfelds Coutureshow hösten 2012. Detta bekräftades dock aldrig. Choupette också krediterats som inspiration till Lagerfelds blå Coutureshow våren 2012, då han beskrivit hennes ögon som "blå, blå, blå, blå, blå".

Choupette har även dykt upp i flertalet fotograferingar, mest känt med Laetitia Casta i ett 10-sidors reportage i tidningen V i september 2012.

Choupettes egna sminkkollektion lanserades 2014 av den japanska modeskaparen Shu Uemura. I mars 2015 sa Lagerfeld i en intervju med The Cut att Choupette hade tjänat 3 miljoner euro under 2014 genom att delta i två projekt: en för bilar i Tyskland och det andra för en Shu Uemuras sminkkollektion i Japan.  Till 2021 har två böcker om Choupette givits ut.

"The musical tradition of the universal Church is a treasure of inestimable value, greater even than that of any other art. The main reason for this pre-eminence is that, as a combination of sacred music and words, it forms a necessary or integral part of solemn liturgy" (Sacrosanctum Concilium, no. 112). The composition and singing of inspired psalms, often accompanied by musical instruments, were already closely linked to the liturgical celebrations of the Old Covenant. The Church continues and develops this tradition: "Address . . . one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with all your heart." "He who sings prays twice" (Eph 5:19; St. Augustine, En. in Ps. 72,1:PL 36,914; cf. Col 3:16).
One of God's greatest gifts to us, his creation, was the gift of song. In words and music, our ancestors in faith—Moses, David, Deborah, Paul, St. Gregory—have taught us how to revel in God's infinite love, proclaim his glory, give thanks for his abounding generosity, and plead for mercy and forgiveness. Sing to the Lord: Music in Divine Worship, guidelines approved by the bishops of the United States in 2007, recalls this vast, rich musical tradition as it provides basic guidelines for understanding the role and ministry of music in the liturgy. Standing on the foundational work of the Council fathers, Sing to the Lord echoes the call to full, active, and conscious participation in the Liturgy through its sung elements. It addresses the practical concerns of pastoral leaders: appropriate ministers, cultural diversity, instrumentation, formation, acoustics, and copyrights. It also outlines considerations for preparing and judging music for worship with an in-depth review of the musical structure of Liturgy.

On Saturday, March 31, I led a hike of three peaks in the Huachuca Mountains for the Southern Arizona Hiking Club. The Huachuca Mountains are prominent range lying immediately west of Sierra Vista, Arizona. Our goals were to summit Huachuca, Lyle, and Peterson Peaks.
June Meyer, Bill and Jane Hiscox, and Jeff Brucker rendezvoused with me early in the morning and loaded into my Jeep. We drove south through Sonoita and past Parker Canyon Lake to follow forest roads to the trailhead. On the drive towards Parker Canyon Lake we spotted pronghorn, deer, and turkeys. With that start to the day I wondered if we might encounter a jaguar later on the hike.
The last few miles of driving was sometimes steep and rocky and we splashed through a few shallow creek crossings. But the road was easier than others I have driven on SAHC trips. Linda and I had scouted the drive a few weeks earlier and we found a cairn marking a faint trail at the location indicated on my topo map. When I arrived there this time Bill suggested I drive just a little further and by doing so we found the well-marked Crest Trail trailhead with ample parking.
Our first goal of the day was to summit Huachuca Peak. Huachuca Peak is not the highpoint of the Huachuca Mountains, but is still the 84th most prominent peak in Arizona with 1910 feet of topographic prominence. We climbed steeply up the Crest Trail in the warm sunshine to reach a ridgeline. Beyond there, the trail led north to a primitive gate that provided access to Fort Huachuca and an unmaintained trail leading the rest of the way to the summit of Huachuca Peak. The upper trails were mostly in shade with a pleasant cool breeze.
After signing into the summit registry and taking photos we began our descent towards the trailhead. On the descent I missed two switchbacks where boot tracks continued straight, but my companions were amused to correct me.
We made two side trips on our descent. The first side trip was to hike through thick forest to the summit of Lyle Peak. Any potential views were obscured by trees. We noted familiar names in the summit registry, added our own, and returned to the trail.
From a forested saddle lower on the trail we made our second side trip to summit Peterson Peak. This required thrashing through thick forest up a steep slope that sometimes required climbing on all fours and using trees for hand and foot holds. The summit was a small rock outcropping which at least provided a nice view of Huachuca Peak and a wet summit registry with the usual familiar names.
We returned once more to the trail and descended the rest of the way back to the trailhead. It had been a very pleasant and productive day hiking in the scenic Huachuca Mountains, even if we did not meet a jaguar.

Pregnancy clothes don't have to consist of your hubby's oversized T-shirts and baggy sweatpants. From supportive halter neck tankini swimsuits to super-cute polka-dotted wrap tops, you can find stylish maternity clothes online that are cut to fit throughout pregnancy and nursing, making them a long-lasting, value-conscious choice. Stay trendy yet comfy in the office with a floral printed tunic and supportive leggings, or wow your partner during date night in a sleek wrap dress.
Greatly enjoy working at Thyme Maternity, interacting with customers is the best part of the job. Excellent manager and assistant manager, ongoing coaching given to me as well as the opportunity to provide coaching and leadership to other staff members. Unfortunately no room to grow within the company and looking to use my education more in future employment.
Spending more than £50 may seem pretty steep for maternity wear, but there's a small army of women who would argue that if you get enough wear out of your jeans, then it's worth spending over £100. I have heard great things, for instance, about designer maternity wear shop, Blossom. They sell jeans by Citizens of Humanity, True Religion and other revered brands with oddly cod-philosophical-sounding names. They adapt the jeans themselves, adding their "Blossom band". A fashionista friend shelled out about £170 on a pair of 7 For all Mankind straight legs from Blossom and says: "I wore them almost every day up until about five months after having the baby, so well worth it." Another friend of mine, who is stickler for quality, got some James Jeans for just over £100 for her first pregnancy and reckons, if you end up having more than one child, it's definitely worth the investment.
With a large maternity section that even includes swimwear and evening gowns, Nordstrom is a no-brainer if you're looking to flawlessly style your changing body. An extensive selection of brands, silhouettes and price points are key factors in making it such a good resource — basically, all the things you loved about shopping Nordstrom before you had a bump!
I worked for Reitman's for over 9 years, moving to all branches, eventually being moved to thyme because they said it was the only store I would be able to advance in. After working there for a year and a half I was told that they were just going to hire from the outside instead because it wasn't fair that I might play favorites. While I enjoyed the time spent there with the people I worked with it wasn't a career sadly.
Thyme Maternity is by far one of the best retail jobs I've ever had. Full time employees have great benefits and the management was always very positive and encouraging. The discounts were amazing and helping pregnant women find clothes and products that made them feel comfortable and pretty was a fulfilling and fun experience. The breaks were often and fair and the shifts were always a reasonable length. My only complaint is that the part-time hours could be unreliable but for a student or someone with a financial plan to fall back on it would be perfect. I would absolutely recommend working for any of Reitman's affiliates if you get the chance!
Most pregnant women know about Destination Maternity, as it is one of the very few stores that exclusively sells maternity apparel and much of it is quite cute! The reason this store earns the top spot on our list today is because along with traditionally-sized maternity clothing, Destination Maternity is one of the few stores that carries a full line of plus-size maternity clothing, too.
Find some of the top maternity fashion brands at Walmart including Bravado, Nurture by Lamaze, Unique Bargains, Blended Clothing Inc., and many other popular brands. Walmart also exclusively carries George. George carries a maternity line to support women throughout pregnancy with fashionable and affordable maternity pieces. George Maternity has great fashion for every season. Whether you're looking for something light and airy for the summer, or cute and cozy for the fall and winter, George has a great selection to match your unique style. All the maternity fashion carried at Walmart is designed to accommodate your growing belly, ensuring comfort throughout your pregnancy.
The verdict: It's a cliché, but dungarees look really cute on a pregnant body, no? That said, they're not always the most practical when it comes to those frequent toilet breaks (if you know, you know). That being said, these were comfortable but sturdy. You probably won't find them as easy to wear in the later months though, as they're not as stretchy as the other pairs.
The advantages of under the bump are that they aren't so bulky under tops and to combat exposure or to allow you to wear a shorter top you can always wear a belly band or long vest top under your top top. Under the bump tend to work better for skinny, stretchy style jeans as the stretch in the denim will hold the jeans on your leg as supposed to having to rely on the waist band only.

"The Acme of Parlor Games," "More Simple Than Authors," "More Scientific Than Whist." Sound like fun? For the millions of Americans who have purchased it since 1902, Flinch has provided limitless hours of strategy and entertainment. The history of the popular card game goes back more than 100 years, and it all began in Kalamazoo with a man named Arthur J. Patterson.
Patterson was born in 1869 on a farm in Eaton County, grew up there, and graduated from Grand Ledge High School at the age of 16. He took various jobs as a teacher and clerk in Grand Rapids and Chicago. In 1898 he came to Kalamazoo to accept a job as the bookkeeper at Beecher & Kymer, a prominent book and stationery store. The business would soon become known as Beecher, Kymer, & Patterson.
Patterson was an avid card player, and in 1901, while playing cards in his Vine Street home, he came up with the idea for a new game that would be played with a special deck that he would produce and sell. He called the game "Flinch" and ran the Flinch Card Company out of the offices of Beecher, Kymer, & Patterson at 122 South Burdick.
Flinch deck courtesy of Kalamazoo Valley Museum, photographed by Alex Forist.
A Flinch deck is made up of 150 cards numbered 1 through 15. The object of the game is to be the first to play all the cards from your hand and game pile. The instructions packaged with the game were simple enough for children to understand and to learn quickly, yet the game lent itself to strategy, which made it a favorite of adults as well.
Flinch went on to become a national sensation. In the first years Patterson sold it he commented, "We could sell ten times the goods we do, if we could only produce them." It was reported that game stores had special signs made for their window displays that read "No Flinch Today" for when they were sold out of the game, and "Flinch Today" for when they received a new shipment. In 1903 nearly 1 million Flinch games were sold, and by the time Patterson sold the rights to Parker Brothers in 1936, over seven and a half million had been sold. Arthur Patterson died in 1948, but the game that he invented lives on, and families the world over can still enjoy his legacy by playing a game of Flinch.

Some Favourite Walks
Bill & Nedra Orme - from Striders 120
We have always refused to nominate our favourite walk, as there are so many, and they are so different that they cannot be ranked or compared.
Each has its own charm and serendipity. It is hard to remember a single day's walking we regretted doing as always at least one part is memorable, even if only from laughing about hours of white walls of rain when finishing the day in the warm dining room of a French inn.
Nedra is known for her hard earned 'Basics' for roughing it after many years of doing it tough. At the end of each day she now wants hot water, clean sheets, good food and plenty of wine. American friends wrote to tell us of their 'Basics' after three days snow bound in their tent in Austria; 'cold water, wet sheets, a freeze dried meal, but plenty of "whine"'. And we do it for fun, and often pay good money for the experience!
When we roughed out our first list of favourites we found they would fill a whole issue of Strider. Also we have a similar wish-list of walks we would love to do in the future, but at 76, multi-day walks with full pack are beyond us. However there are now the grandchildren and others to try them. We are just back from day walking Rome, Naples and the Cilento National Park with its 280 varieties of orchids. This has now become our walking style – exploring from a base.
We prefer to walk in spring to see it break out, though this can be wet, or in autumn when the weather is the most stable with blue skies and little wind. We avoid the hot crowded summers and cold winters.
Below we have taken some of the countries where we have walked in our retirement, and selected a round dozen memorable walks. Our apologies to the ones deleted, or ones we haven't walked. We started too late!
Bibbulmun Track
The Path: 1,000km from Perth to Albany. www.bibbulmuntrack.org.au
Highlights: Some of the world's best wildflowers, towering forests, beaches with raging seas and 48 free shelters for walkers.
A Sydney Harbour Circle
The Path: 59 km four day walk from the Opera House, see Page***. Free brochure (4th ed. 2011-12). Detailed maps and historic notes www.walkingsydney.net
Highlights: Sparkling blue sky & harbour with its many islands through bushland, aboriginal heritage, historic forts and housing, returning each night by ferry to a home base.
Pilgrim Path to Santiago de Campostela
The Path: From all over Europe, but the last section, 820km from the Pyrenees to Campostelle captures the full spirit of this ancient Pilgrimage. Guides Cicerone, and www.csj.org.uk
Highlights: We started from Vézelay near Paris, and while fascinating, many of the French hospices, and monasteries were destroyed in the Revolution. From St-Jean-Pied-de-Port the living experience begins and the heritage remains in the buildings and hearts of the inhabitants.
Grande Traversee des Alpes (GTA)
The Path: Part of the E2 and GR5, Approx 28 days from Lake Geneva to Nice. Guide Cicerone Press and Topo Guides (www.ffrandonnee.fr).
Highlights: 32 passes, each like a window into the next room, along the French-Italian border. Constantly changing alpine scenery. NB: Grande Traversata delle Alpi (GTA- E1) on Italian side.
The Pyrennees
The Path: GR10 & Haute Route, Approx 400km and 50 days from Atlantic to Mediterranean. Guide Books: Cicerone Press and 4 Topo-Guides (www.ffrandonnee.fr).
Highlights: 44 km of vertical climbing along a ridge with France to the north and Spain to the south through wild high mountains, pastures and villages. There is a parallel route on the Spanish side.
Grande Escursione Appenninica (GEA)
The Path: Part of the E1. Approx 20 days along the knife edge Appennine ridge on the Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna border. From La Verna where St Francis received his stigmata (east of Florence) to Passo della Cisa. Guide Tamari.
Highlights: St Francis's cave, differences between looking north and south, regular knife edge ridges to be crawled in high wind, forests and wild crags. Alpi Appuani to south.
The Alpine Pass Route
The Path: 10 days, east to west from Rhine Valley (Sargans) to Lake Geneva (Montreux) through 14 passes along the northern alpine chain. Guide: Swiss National Tourist Office.
Highlights: This was part of our 10 month walk in 1984 following the seasons, spring from Crete to winter in Corsica, via Scotland. By August we set out from Munich, then along the Austrian ridge to Switzerland. It took us through passes we thought impossible as we looked ahead, had us camping on ridges with villages far below, and the fun of overcoming many language barriers in alpine club huts.
Corsican High Level Route
The Path: GR20, 14 day 200km along the central ridge of Corsica. Topo-Guide (France) and Cicerone (UK).
Highlights: Best walked south (easier end to settle in) to north. A ridge walk to make even Wainwright jealous.
Macmillan Way
The Path: 500 km from Boston-on-the-Wash to Weymouth on the Channel. www.macmillanway.org.uk
Highlights: Constantly changing countryside and villages, superb guidebook and accommodation list.
Lands End to John O'Groats
The Path: A cross section of England and Scotland (and perhaps Wales). LEJOG for an early start or JOGLE for a late start. Our first route included North Downs, Offa's Dyke, Pennines, West Highlands, our second 2,300km east route via Lyme Regis, Lincoln, Tees, Pennines, Edinburgh. Many guides but we used Andrew McCloy's Land's End to John o'Groats (1994 ed.) with variations.
Highlights: A cross section of the UK, its geography and people.
The Path: A 21 day 340km high level path in California from Yosemite National Park, through the Ansell Adams and John Muir Wildernesses, and the Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks. Part of the Pacific Crest Trail. Guides Cicerone (UK) & Wilderness Press (USA).
Highlights: A true memorial to Scot, John Muir whose vision founded National Parks and the Sierra Club. Mainly 3,000-4,400 metres through high passes, beside deep lakes & towering trees and shimmering aspen. Very remote, we carried 21 days food, but in planning failed to notice it finished on top of Mt Whitney (4,418m) with another day down to Lone Pine!).
Rolwaling Valley
The Path: 21 day triangle along the Nepal Tibet border under Mt Gauri Shanker 7,145m, west of Everest.
Highlights: Our second big walk, particularly special to us as we walked as a family with our four children guided by sherpas and supported by porters. I heard of it when reading Hilary's original notebook of his six monthstay with trainee astronauts, describing it as 'the most beautiful valley in the world'. It cemented our love for long distance walks, which grew to a passion.
From the start we have had unstinting help from fellow members of the LDWA and Austrian Alpine Club, without which some of our walks would never have been completed. Many of our fellow members have become firm friends, friendships which will continue. Alan Castle said as we walked together, 'When you first wrote to me about your walks I said to Beryl "this chap is either a great walker or a big liar!" ' Nedra, ever supportive, commented 'He's a bit of both'.
We have tried to assist other walkers starting out in a similar way, and hope our Practicals articles will be of some help. In the meantime we train for the Serengeti and Masai Mara and the great migration in August. As for next year, the options are firming up!

A Challenge event is a longer, organised, walk mostly on footpaths and other Public Rights of Way, across open fields and moors, avoiding tarmac as much as possible. The challenge is to the individual, e.g. 30 miles in 10 hours, it is NOT a race.
There are currently 42 local groups and being a member of one of these is great fun! Indeed, without them the LDWA would not exist. Local groups host regular group walks led by one of their members and some also organise social events and longer trips.
Want to find out about a long distance path? This website includes a searchable database of over 1,500 UK paths and trails covering more than 88,000 miles. Path information includes maps, publications, and accommodation near the path.
Annual 100 Mile Challenge
The annual 100 mile event is the LDWA's flagship event. Held every year in a different part of the country, to coincide with the late May Bank Holiday, up to 500 people gather to walk 100 miles in 48 hours.

Cocoa Sarai Doesn't Want to Meet Your Parents
by Jamar Nolan August 02, 2017
Brooklyn, NY singer/songwriter Cocoa Sarai has been making real waves in the music industry for quite a few years now and her new video "Wait a Minute" feels like something major is definitely on the horizon. The song is based on the 19th century Feminist movement and she's identifying it as the "new national anthem for independent women everywhere." Some very strong words from a very focused artist!
The video showcases Cocoa feeling very comfortable within her own skin, liberating herself from the constraints of typical relationships. She's a woman that knows what she wants and places it front and center from the opening line all the way through. The track has a strong bounce, trunk rattling bass, and an infectious hook that may remind listeners just a little bit of Rihanna (if Rih-Rih had vocal chops like this). Be sure to check out the rest of Cocoa Sarai's project "Nostalgia/The Vibey EP" and if you're digging it, support it on iTunes!

Alice Ann Hansen
Service Date: 12/29/2018
Service Time: 11:00 AM
Service Location: King of Glory Lutheran Church, 2085 East Southern Avenue, Tempe, Arizona
Alice Ann Hansen passed away in her home in Mesa, Arizona early Monday, December 10, 2018. She was a few days away from her 90th birthday.
With her passing the world lost a mother, a grandmother, a great-grandmother, a teacher, a lover of books, but most of all a woman who loved people. She held no predetermined differentiation between races or genders, ages or accents. She welcomed into her home people from all backgrounds, religions, and points of view. She demonstrated a love for diversity, kindness, and wisdom, and was gracious to those who had not reached her level of maturity in those areas.
Her life began in Nebraska where she was the second in a family of seven children. Early on, the family relocated to Elk Horn, Iowa, where the Griffiths met the Hansen family, which would eventually change the course of many lives, and create the foundation for many more.
Alice graduated from Iowa State University in Ames with a degree in Education. In 1951 her first major adventure began as she and a friend took jobs in Washington D.C. working in the Department of the Navy. After working there for a few years, she returned to Iowa where she had accepted a teaching position. Alice married Kirk Hansen on June 10, 1954 and they began their lives together.
Five children were a product of their union, beginning with Heidi, then Pete, Erik, Chris, and Eve.
In 1972 the family moved to Mesa, Arizona, where Kirk was principal of Kino Junior High school for 22 years. There were many great years and memories developed in Mesa, where each of the kids graduated from Westwood High School. During this time, Alice worked as a Reading Resource Teacher for Mesa Public Schools. She retired in 1992.
Kirk passed away in 1994, and Alice became even more active in volunteering to tutor at her grandchildren's schools, volunteering at St. Peter Lutheran Church, and for Meals on Wheels. For many years, Thursday afternoons were "kids' day" at Alice's house with many of her grandkids spending time together and with her at her home in Mesa.
Alice was preceeded in death by her parents; her husband, Kirk; and her sisters, Mary, Joyce, and Carol. She is survived by her sister, Jane; brothers, John and Gene; children, Heidi (Tim), Pete (Thea), Erik (Betty), Chris (Grace), and Eve (Scott); grandchildren, Dan, Marc, Jake, and Corrie Burgess; Whitney Mainwold and Peter Hansen; Dupree Sharp; Joshua, Matthew, A.J., Chelsea, and Makaylia Hansen; Brent, Ben, and Amy Hansen; Caroline and Fernando Munoz; and Hayden, Tyler, and Zachary Webb. Her great-grandchildren are: Leo Burgess (Marcus and Elda), Devin and Sawyer Hansen (Peter and Amanda), Leia and Kirk Mainwold (Whitney and Mike), Haley, Alexia, Riley, and Ciel Hansen (Joshua and Carly), Sophie and Graham (Matthew and Erica), Jaiden and Amare Hansen (A.J. and Janet), and Aiden and Blakely Hansen (Ben and Casey).

Alice was a loving inspiration to all she met. She was kind, selfless, and encouraging, building up others with her own strength. I'm thankful that her family had her for so long and so thankful she is now with her loved ones for eternity.
Anita Dahlman
I loved Alice very much she was a great co worker and helper where needed.
I will miss her wisdom and smiling face and a great mind

Uganda which is also known as the Pearl of Africa is a landlocked country that is blessed with beautiful people and stunning scenery that attract a number of people in and around the globe. It has 10 national parks that offer remarkable views of wildlife like elephants, giraffes, lions, crocodiles, Ugandan kobs and so much more. Uganda is also blessed with profuse birdlife and is a bird haven for even the rarest of species of birds. The country is also famous for being one of the only three countries in Africa that have the Mountain Gorillas. These are and can be found in only two of its 10 national parks and these are the Mgahinga Gorilla National Park and the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park.
The tracking permits in Uganda are at a cost of US$700 each. This is an advantage to some but it is during these times that heavy rains and mud are depicted thus tracking the Mountain Gorillas can become quite challenging. Uganda, unlike Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo is undoubtedly the country sheltering the biggest number of these Mountain Gorillas; one of the reasons many trackers prefer gorilla tours in Uganda. However, one has to be prepared to sit through a couple of hours to get to the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park and or the Mgahinga Gorilla National Park where tracking will take place.
There are two means of transport available that can get you to your destination and these are by road or by air. If one opts for the latter, they should be prepared to face the costs since it is quite expensive though it helps you get there much earlier. The road transport on the other hand is the best option because it give s you the opportunity to see a number of attractions and capture memories along your journey.
There are only 13 already habituated gorilla tours groups in the two national parks and of these 12 are found in Bwindi while only one is in the Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. The Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park has got 4 sectors where these gorillas are located;
The Buhoma sector with three habituated groups namely Mubare family, Habinyanja family and Rushegura family.
The Ruhija sector with three habituated groups namely Oruzogo family, Bitukura family and the Kyaguriro family.
The Rushaga sector with five habituated groups namely Nshongi family, Mishaya family, Kahungye family, Busingye family and the Bweza family.
The Nkuringo sector with the Nkuringo family.
Mgahinga National Park on the other hand has only one sector which is Mgahinga and it has only one family called the Nyakagezi.
Accommodation in these places is not a problem at all in these areas especially since it caters for all kinds of guests from the luxurious ones to the visitors that are on strict budget. Some of the places you can stay at include;
Bwindi Backpackers Lodge.
Nkuringo Gorilla Lodge.
Bakiga Lodge.
Ruhija Gorilla Safari Lodge.
Nshongi Camp.
Buhoma Community Rest Camp.
The Silverback Lodge.

A lamb chop dinner was planned for the day. However, the local Afghani meat shop has ran out of the lamp chops. So, as a result I ended up getting some veal chops. I guessed veal chops worked for dinner just fine. All six slices cost $5.44, apparently it is quite cheaper to eat at home.
1. Season the steak with Montreal Steak Spicy (Club House) which can be purchased in any grocery stores.
2. Cook it on the high heat with a little bit oil in the pan. It is recommended to use a non-sticky pan.
3. Any vegetable can go as a side dish. I choose stir fried zucchini, green bell pepper and roasted potato.

Dublin now Europe's largest data hosting cluster
February 28, 2019 /in Press Releases /by Host In Ireland
Dublin metro area surpasses London with 25% of the European hosting market
DUBLIN – 28 February 2019 –A new report from Host In Ireland in association with Bitpower has highlighted Ireland's new position as the 'Data Isle' of Europe with Dublin now recognised as holding the largest market share of hosting facilities in Europe by year end 2018. The latest Quarter 4 2018 update released by Host In Ireland shows Ireland's attractiveness as a data hosting location is currently at its strongest, with 53 data centres in operation and a capital investment spend of over €1 billion in 2018. The report drew on a recent industry update by Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) revealing that Dublin is now the leading destination for hosting facilities in Europe. With 25% market share of the European data market, the Dublin metro area surpassed London by 1%. The Host In Ireland Quarter 4 2018 Report also revealed that:
16 new data halls became operational in 2018 with;
28 new data centre facilities currently in development (either under construction or with approved planning).
Further €5 billion capital investment expected within 4 years
This expansion will see key leaders in the industry join the Host In Ireland executive council. New members include Eddie Kilbane CEO of the Dataplex Group, Anthony McDermott, Director Mitchell McDermott, Tesh Durvasula, President – Europe CyrusOne and Philip O'Doherty, Founder and Managing Director of E+I. The executive council is instrumental in the direction and success of the initiative. According to the most recent Q.4 report produced by Host In Ireland in association with Bitpower, over €9 billion is expected to have been invested in data centres by 2021. This figure reflects Ireland's attractiveness as a hosting location for tech multi-nationals. Speaking about Ireland's new status as Europe's 'Data Isle', Host In Ireland President Garry Connolly said: "We are extremely proud of Ireland's new status as the 'Data Isle' with 25% of the total hosting market share in Europe. It is becoming increasingly evident that Data is an industry of real substance providing the Irish economy and companies with growing import and export opportunities." "The level of investment into Ireland from the hosting industry has brought about substantial opportunity for many Irish companies in recent years. Some have seen significant growth enabling them to export their skills and services across Europe, US and Asia. Ireland is now seen as a hosting industry leader, not just due to the size of the market share we currently hold in Europe, but because of the hard work, skill and expertise built up by Irish companies and individuals in recent years which is now recognised internationally." Recent research shows data centres continue to provide significant economic and job multiplier benefits in terms of employment and the economy. A report from the IDA demonstrated that 700+ Irish companies benefited from 90% of expenditure from data centres investment in Ireland. Further to the direct economic and employment benefits, data centres act as a facilitator to unlock greater benefits across a €71 billion global technology services export market.

McAuley's role will be to continue to establish and communicate the policy of Host In Ireland members along with engaging with stakeholders in industry and government.
Host In Ireland promotes Ireland as a prime location for data centre excellence. It works to inform global decision makers within the technology and data industries about Ireland's data hosting calibre and capabilities.
Data centre operators, service providers and equipment providers account for the majority of members in the industry-led initiative. The announcement comes on the back of the ongoing 'Industry of Substance' campaign, which aims to educate stakeholders about the importance of data, economic benefits for Ireland, infrastructure and other key issues relating to the industry.
Speaking about her appointment as Head of Operations, Michelle Wallace said 'With the growth of technology in our day to day lives, data centres are an essential part of the supporting infrastructure. It's an ideal opportunity for Irish business to capitalise on. Ireland has become a key player for data centre excellence, not simply as an ideal location for data hosting, but in also in the service providers and product providers that are exporting all over the world and creating exceptional career opportunities for the Irish market. I'm looking forward to supporting and propelling our member's businesses by creating a valuable network and global voice.'
Commenting on what he hopes to achieve in his new role as Head of Policy, David McAuley said 'Hyperscale operators are perceived to have the ear of the government due to their size and importance in FDI. As an organisation, Host In Ireland can provide a louder voice for its members than they can individually, whilst also protecting its members from any perceived disadvantage of commenting on specific policies. Most members also don't have the bandwidth to respond to proposed policies. To facilitate this, Host In Ireland propose to establish a Head of Policy function to help understand and communicate the key policy positions of members.'

Host in Ireland Announces Update to Its Report Demonstrating the Sustainability of the Irish Data Industry
November 21, 2018 /in Press Releases /by Host In Ireland
Update Examines Growth of Renewable Energies to Further Support the Data Centre Industry
DUBLIN – 21 November 2018 – Host in Ireland, a strategic global initiative created to increase awareness of the benefits of hosting digital assets in Ireland today announces the release of its report, "Ireland's Data Hosting Industry 2018 Q3 Update." The report in collaboration with Bitpower, highlights the continued growth of the data centre industry in Ireland as well as outlining their continued prioritization of green energy.
Supplemental to previous updates for their "Ireland's Data Hosting Industry 2018 Update" series, this report performs an analysis of the evolution of energy efficiency in data centres as well as the continued growth of these facilities in the market. The report explores the opening of several new and large facilities in Ireland, most notably by Facebook in Clonee, which plans to be fully sustained by renewable energy. Other large companies with presence in Ireland include Google, Microsoft and Amazon, which have committed to or already secured 100 percent renewable resources for their Ireland-based locations. Furthermore, the report outlines the completion of new Hyperscale and Build to Suit facilities in the third quarter of 2018 (Q3).
"As we move towards 2018's close, it's a great time to look over the industry's progress. With a total of 48 data centres boasting 540 megawatts of grid-connected power capacity, it's crucial that renewable energies move to support these demands, which continue to increase," states Garry Connolly, Founder and CEO, Host in Ireland. "With this updated report, we hope to provide an overview of Ireland's success in these energy and efficiency considerations, as well as introduce investors and clients to the technologies that will support our future."
In 2017, 29 percent of Ireland's grid electricity was generated from renewable resources. By 2020, the country aims to increase that number up to 40 percent, while the goal for 2030 sits at 70 percent. The report reveals that tools like virtualisation, power usage effectiveness (PuE) Metric benchmarks and hot aisle containment designs allow for more efficient data centre operations. Going beyond these established methods, new energy efficient methodologies are being implemented to further augment and ensure data centre progress. The Excellence in Energy Efficient Design (EXEED) certified program, a support scheme developed by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), includes grant and capital supports to bolster new designs and systematic technology adoptions.

Q: where files are created in docker run? local machine or docker image this is my first question in stackoverflow :))
When i start my rails app with docker following the link https://docs.docker.com/compose/rails/#define-the-project.
FROM ruby:2.3.3
RUN apt-get update -qq && apt-get install -y build-essential libpq-dev nodejs    <- this install dependencies into docker container
RUN mkdir /myapp   <- this create myapp folder into docker container
WORKDIR /myapp
ADD Gemfile /myapp/Gemfile
ADD Gemfile.lock /myapp/Gemfile.lock
RUN bundle install
ADD . /myapp       <- my confused there

If the command "RUN bundle install" is same as "RUN mkdir /myapp", so my project skeleton files will be created within docker container instead of local machine. But why need the last command "ADD . /myapp"? Because that command add the current folder in local machine to /myapp folder in docker container.
Thank you.

A: ADD command copy the content of your current host directory (only new files) inside /myapp directory of your container.

*

*RUN mkdir /myapp: Create an empty /myapp directory inside the container.

*WORKDIR /myapp: Set /myapp as your work directory inside the container.

*ADD Gemfile /myapp/Gemfile and ADD Gemfile.lock /myapp/Gemfile.lock
: Add your host Gemfile and Gemfile.lock to /myapp/.

*RUN bundle install: Install dependencies of your Gemfile

*ADD . /myapp: Add your application code to /myapp directory (only new files).
Check Dockerfile reference for ADD command if you need further information about this command: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#add
Hope this helps, good luck and welcome to SO!

WD Releases My Passport Wireless Pro and New My Cloud Pro NAS
Western Digital is probably most known for their internal hard disk drives, but they also make external drives and NAS devices for consumers and enterprises alike and today they're releasing two new Pro devices aimed at the creative community: The My Passport Wireless Pro Wi-Fi mobile storage and the My Cloud Pro Series network attached storage (NAS). The new WD Pro Series enables a seamless transfer of content between devices regardless of whether users are on a remote shoot, in the studio, or editing at home and they also come with a few features you might not expect from such devices.
A new versi0n of My Cloud mobile app will also be launched at the same time and it's now also compatible with Adobe's Creative Cloud. The devices are also fully compatible with Plex Media Server which is one of the most popular pieces of software in this area.
"Portability, reliability, capacity, speed and interoperability are crucial for creative professionals, whose very livelihoods rely on the strength of the technology they use to store their life's work," said Sven Rathjen, vice president of marketing for content solutions at WD. "We created the WD Pro Series as a comprehensive, feature-rich storage solution designed to fit seamlessly into their workflow, regardless of where the work actually happens, so storage, transfer, back-up, editing and even streaming options are readily available."
The WD My Passport Wireless Pro comes with so many features that it effectively allows you to leave your laptop behind when you go on a photo shoot. The built-in direct Wi-Fi connection allows you to backup files and free your memory cards in your camera without physically connecting the two. That is if your camera has built-in Wi-Fi. The integrated hotspot can handle file transfers and workload from up to eight devices simultaneously.
With the Plex Media Server compatibility, it is also capable of playing up to four video streams of content while on-the-go. That's pretty sweet.
There's no need to worry if your camera or other devices don't have Wi-Fi available as the WD My Passport Wireless Pro also comes with tethered connections. There's a normal USB type-B port to connect the drive to a computer or similar device as well as a Type-A port where you can connect your phone or camera. Last but not least, the WD My Passport Wireless Pro also features a card reader with a one-touch backup button for direct import of your memory card content.
The Type-A port brings an amazing extra function to the table. Instead of using the built-in battery that features up to 10-hours battery time can also be used to charge your mobile devices and bring them back to life again after a long day. It is available with up to 3TB capacity
The manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) on this wireless hard drive starts at £189.99 and goes up to £209.99 depending on capacity and it comes with a 2-year limited warranty.
Mobile storage is great on the go, but you need something bigger and better when you get back home to the office or studio and that is where the new WD MyCloud Pro NAS come into play. Available in either 2-bay or 4-bay, the MyCloud Pro NAS can offer up to 32TB capacity and they're offered without drives or with WD drives pre-installed. The two new NAS devices are called the PR2100 and PR4100 that make them easily recognizable from the previous pro models that came with the EX naming, you might remember the EX4100 that we reviewed last year.
The only real difference between the two new NAS devices is whether you can install two or four hard disk drives, but the 4-bay model also comes with a handy little built-in display on the front. With this, you can get a quick view on the device's status and setup without having to connect to a web interface and log in there first.
A new improvement in the PR series is the one-touch backup button, a feature that we already know from other NAS manufacturers. This makes it extremely easy to import content from card readers, cameras, and other external storage devices such as hard disk drives as all you have to do is press a physical button next to the front USB port.
As this news is written prior to the actual release in order to have it ready at the same time, I don't have all the full details on these new NAS'. I tried getting my hands on the specification sheets, but failed. But we do know a few things such as that the used CPU comes with powerful transcoding capabilities. My best-estimated guess would be that it is powered by a Celeron N3050 or a Celeron N3150 CPU while hoping for the last. It's quite a bit of difference between the two in the world of NAS'. The transcoding capabilities mean the My Cloud Pro Series NAS can ingest, edit, store and stream content to and from popular formats, including 4K video.
The whole thing is powered by the My Cloud OS 3 software that is complimented by a robust, integrated application suite, which includes compatibility with Plex Media Server for storing and optimizing media libraries and compatibility with Adobe's Creative Cloud for editing and finalizing them. With WD's My Cloud app and MyCloud.com remote access, you also get very easy access to your storage no matter where you're located and what kind of device you got in your pocket or in front of you.
The My Cloud Pro Series NAS devices are available at Amazon.com, B&H, and the WD Store for an MSRP beginning at £379.99 and goes up to £1,899.99 depending on configuration and capacity. The My Cloud Pro Series offers a 2-year limited warranty for diskless models and 3-year limited warranty for Populated models.
Hopefully, I'll be able to get hold of a review sample or two of these in order to bring you more details and show what the devices actual are capable of.

Q: What are cost-effective uses of gems? I am a new player with about 214 gems and 183 gold in Clash Royale. The game states:

Gems can be used to buy gold or to speed up unlocking chests.

when tapping the gem icon. Should I use the gems to unlock the chests, buy gold, or buy other chests (if so, which type of chest)?

A: As a free-to-play player, there are two main things you can do with your gems to conserve it; make it last longer:

*

*Speed up chests that are nearly completed, not those that have just started.
Alternatively, don't use them at all. You should be trying to save it for when cards begin to climb in costs (1,000 Gold at Level 8 to 9) and then [see below]:
Or, to get the most out of it:

*

*Spend your gems only on gold.
Alternatively, wait until you have 500 Gems and buy the 10,000 Gold pack, and don't buy cards from the store. It is a known fact that you get more cards than gold.

*Never spend your gems on purchasing chests from the store. It's not worth it.
That is, unless you're trying to get guaranteed Epics or Legendary cards, which you shouldn't be doing until most of your cards are maxed as the cards and gold values don't add up, even without the gem prices scaling with your Arena number.
One exception to this are the occasional Epic Chest (using gold) and Legendary Chest (500 gems), which are much more profitable than other chests available for gems, or cards for gold.
